Paint Party Friday: Week 16, Year 2 Check In... And A Note To Our Guests

Dear wonderful PPFers,

We have received many messages from lots of you not knowing "if your paintings are good enough" or thinking that since you don't "sell your art", you shouldn't submit an interview to be a PPF Featured Artist...

Please know, and we feel this is worth repeating it is so important:

*ALL PAINT PARTY FRIDAY PAINTERS ARE WELCOME!!!*

If you paint, we want to hear your story.

We all learn from each other...

It doesn't matter if you use oils or fingerpaints; if you paint on canvas or cardboard; if you paint in a studio, at the kitchen table or on the floor; if you've been published or you only post paintings to your blog...

We all have something to share! It has been fascinating to hear Stephanie S's, Kathy's, Mary's, Marcia's, Patsy's, KAT's, Lisa's, Stephanie C's, Kristin V's, Sigga's, Kat's, Elisa's and Jenny's stories and to learn more about each Featured Artist. Such inspiration! Similarities, differences, uniqueness and wonderful paintings. Thank each of you so much.

Now, we want to hear YOUR story!

What are you waiting for? Submit your interview ;)

xoxoEVA and Kristin

Now that we have that bit of business out of the way, let's get this party started!

Please make sure to use your post URL address NOT your blog home page URL address as there are many late visitors who get confused as to which post is for PPF when they arrive (after Friday) at your website. If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Linky, an explanation of how this tool works can be found on Week 1 and Week 2 Check-Ins.

Have a great creative week! Lots of parties going on this week... Happy Canada Day and Happy Independence Day to all of those celebrating. Hope you see magnificent fireworks!

Hi Eva and Kristin and everyone. I miss PPF, but I'll be back next week. What a wonderful message for everyone really. I know that being a member of PPF since it began has really opened doors for me in many ways. I say, Hip Hip Hooray!! Three times. tee hee. Be back next week. Now it's time to go finish up my duties. I have a lot of catching up to do next week.

I think it is wonderful to read and look at each others work and learn from each other. We are all so different coming from different culture, in different age and we have been practicing some for many years and some for few. So please tell your story, we all enjoy.

Putting one's self out there for public scrutinizing is a difficult step, but once you do it you gain a confidence you never knew you had.You won't always hear what you want and you won't always make a sale but you will sell and you will hear good things and those are the things to dwell on, not the negative.I have been on the steps , scared to take the plunge, once I did I was so happy I did.My eyes might be failing me but my enthusiasm and desire to paint and share with others will never fade! thankyou for hosting again

I love your blog, because it motivates me to paint. It's also a marvelous place to see what other artists are doing worldwide. I'd like to submit an interview, but haven't gotten around to it with everything else I have going on. I'll try and do it next week. Blessings!
